Being stressed out will stop you from doing the things you TRULY love because you’re too stressed out about work or family. Stress can also stop you from taking risks and trying new things, which is never good.

You’re kind of ALWAYS stressed about everything, but friendship drama REALLY stresses you out! You hate when people criticize the people you love but you also hate conflict and too much emotion, so you kind of go into stress overload.

You feel everything SO much, it’s hard not to always be stressed out.

Take some time to focus on YOU. You’re always so worried about other people that you don’t take a moment to ask YOURSELF if you’re okay.

Find some time to relax and revive, it will put EVERYTHING into perspective.

Work stress is the WORST for you. You like to have fun. Like, a LOT of fun.

You likely have a job that you really enjoy, but even the best jobs can get a little stressful. You are used to things going YOUR way, so when they don’t, it kind of hurts your ego, which stresses you out.

Facing the reality of situations is scary for anyone, but it ESPECIALLY stresses you out because you so often choose to ignore reality.

Best way to fix your stress? Talk about it with other people. You get wrapped up in your anger and bitterness, but your best pals will definitely be able to bring you back to earth. And a little venting always helps.

Being under pressure and sized up by a bunch of people is probably your worst fear.

You like to fly under the radar in most situations, but there will be times when you’re put under the spotlight and expected to seriously perform. This stresses you out pretty bad considering you’re already inherently shy!

The best thing to do? Fake it ‘till you make it. Yup, lie to yourself.

Tell yourself you’ve got it SO under control. Fake confidence will eventually turn into real confidence, and you’ll be killing it before you even know it.

Confrontation, conflict, injustice - you name it. If it’s even slightly messy, you’re stressed about it. You are so passionate that when things start to go wrong, you start running around like a chicken with your head cut off.

Life won’t always work in your favor and there’s A LOT of conflict in your life and the lives around you, so the constant stress is NOT going to be good for you.

Your best bet is to stay positive. Find the good in every situation, find a lesson in every mess up, and you’ll start to feel the harmony you love to bring into the world.

Responsibility stresses you out. You like to live a life that’s carefree and easy, but life doesn’t always play out that way. You tend to promise more than you can deliver, which is a quick and easy way to get SUPER stressed out.

You also struggle with details, which can be super important in work and school, which isn't one of your biggest strengths.

Focus on what you’re good at and do those things 100%. By doing that, you’re teaching yourself how to commit to something and be good at it!

It will also show you how to find discipline in the things you don’t exactly like doing.

Pretty much everything stresses you out. Like, EVERYTHING. If things aren’t exactly the way you pictured them, you’re stressed.

If someone says the wrong thing to you, you’re stressed. It’s a never ending stress circle. You like fun with friends, good conversations, and being passionate about a cause, but if anything doesn’t go the way it’s planned, you lose it.

You’ve got to look at the bigger picture. Do you want to remember being upset and stressed? Or do you want to remember having a good time DESPITE things not going as planned?
